Mean Names



The head-thing Norway and Denmark are doing is a replacement for hugging, because hugs look so awkward with their tiny bodies and giant heads.

Anyway, I was talking with a fellow Dane about the various mean names Scandinavians have given each other, and we realised that for some odd reason the Danes never came up with a name for their nemesis, the Swedes. We therefore came to the conclusion that “Swedes” was considered a sufficiently mean word in itself. :XD:

It's kinda the same over here in Scotland. I'm learning Scottish gaelic and the word "sassenach" which means English is considered offensive if you say it in a certain way. A lot of people spit when they say the word so it sounds kinda scary! A good example of this is in the movie the water horse when a Scottish man rebukes the English captain for his "sassenach attitudes" see if you can find it on youtube if you are interested. Sassenach is also used by Highlanders to describe Lowland Scots. Thankfully today it is only really used
as a friendly form of teasing but a lot of us Scots consider it a great insult to be called English!

When Swedish players first entered the NHL in the 1970s, the common insult for them was "chicken Swede". Back then, fighting and physical play was mostly by North Americans, the Europeans played a positional game. Also the first Soviet players were called "commies" which was really inappropriate, considering that they were risking years in gulags by asking the Soviet government for permission to leave.

Nowadays, the Europeans are amongst the toughest bastards in the NHL, and they're not just from one country. The only major European hockey power which hasn't produced a goon is Finland. But given how big and physical the Finns are, they don't need to be.

This is another insult of Swedes I heard years ago. I'm only linking because I don't want to say it or type it:

There's no greater insult anyone can give anyone than to just use your name when you ask for the worst insult they can give you. . .

It's true, there is no greater insult a Dane can give a Norwegian then to call him a swede.
